The JAPAN S shoes are based on one of our throwback offerings from 1981. Updated with a lightweight design and a modified cupsole, this shoe is made for comfort. It's also paired with nostalgic branding, like the ASICS Stripes on the quarter- panels and "ASICS" lettering at the heel. Originally worn by basketball players in the 1980s, this shoe reimagines its iconic court details with a modern lens. ASICS MENS ASICS JAPAN S
